Meet Dr. Chen
Daniel Chen, DDS | UC Berkeley Graduate | NYU College of Dentistry | ADA • CDA • AGD • Berkeley Dental Society | Berkeley, CA Dentist
Dr. Chen is a compassionate dentist who loves meeting new people and developing meaningful connections with his patients. Growing up in the Bay Area as a kid with a sweet tooth, Dr. Chen is no stranger when it comes to visiting the dentist. He was lucky to be in the care of compassionate dentists who helped him overcome his fear of the dental chair and wants to do the same for his patients. Dr. Chen’s patients appreciate his easy-going demeanor and ability to work with people who are normally fearful of dentists.
While Dr. Chen was attending the University of California, Berkeley for his undergraduate studies he volunteered weekly at the Berkeley Free Clinic Dental Section to provide free dental services for the underserved. He currently volunteers his time to see patients from the Berkeley Free Clinic, in our office, due to his belief in helping those who cannot help themselves.
Dr. Chen received his bachelor’s degree in Integrative Biology before attending New York University’s College of Dentistry. As a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and Berkeley Dental Society, Dr. Chen takes numerous continuing education courses every year to offer the most relevant and recent evidence-based dentistry to his patients. When not at the office Dr. Chen enjoys spending his time with his wife, Vi, and their one year old son, Ollie.
Kind Words From Our Patients
EXCELLENT Based on 750 reviews Posted on Google Patricia NunleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am someone who allowed their dental phobia to result in a need for oral surgery via 2 teeth extractions with the possibility of more. I consistently shared my anxiety and fear with everyone in the office. Each time I was met with kindness and reassurance that included continuous verbal checking on my wellbeing and patiently addressing my constant questions. I sincerely appreciate not only the professionalism demonstrated by this dental team but their authentic exhibitions of sincere kindness in the context of my unwarranted paranoia. Dr Chen and his assistant are the best. I highly recommend them to all the “Scary Marys” that suffer unnecessarily due to dental care avoidance.Posted on Google Harland SpinksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good communication, offered lots of info and options.Posted on Google Samantha TryonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you have dental anxiety or have had a bad experience in the past that made you shy to go to the dentist, this place is for you. Front desk associates are absolute wizards at scheduling and the energy in the office is always professional. I cannot recall the name of my hygienist but she was a master at cleaning, I almost fell asleep!! Ruby did my teeth molds and was friendly and professional. UPDATE: I had to come back and give Thelma a proper shout out. She is the "master " dental hygienist that I mention in my previous review. She is kind, informative and meticulous in her work.Posted on Google Miriam BernsteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone at this office is helpful and kind.
